Even with all their little quirk's and issues, still got to love these old Chevy trucks. I can't believe I'm calling a 90s model old.

Gages going crazy on my 88 Chevy k2500 Silverado cleaned all grounds under hood today been looking for info for grounds under dash !!! Your The Man !!! Thank you for sharing this video, God Bless

My friend has a 1990 Silverado with this exact issues and I jumped that ground to a better ground and it worked!! You saved me alot of hours diagnose this problem. Thanks for sharing!!

Driving back from Atlanta when I got pulled over twice for no tail lights, two hours later I come across this video and I got the idea from you so thanks my guy!

Thank you, same bad ground connection I had (horn and running-parking lights weren't working)...just passed my inspection now. Definitely not a good ground design if all our trucks are having the same issue. Mine was an 1989 Sierra...had that same ground terminal behind connector.

I have the exact same issue, and this is the first video I've seen to possibly diagnose it. Thank you for sharing, I'll give it a try.

I actually really appreciate this cause my fuse was blown and I couldn’t figure out why my lights and stuff weren’t working

Thanks for making this video, I had this problem for the past 2 year's!

Hey thanks bro,my truck 1992 Silverado did the exact same thing tonight & I was rushing through town to get home before I got pulled over for no lights ,checking fuses to,was thinking switch to,but now I’m going to check the ground, I hate electrical man, a lil thing can turn on you man,& before you know it you have the hole dang dash pulled out trying to solve the problem,so I just wanted to say thanks for the heads up,I kind of hate to work on things in the dark,I have lights & stuff,but I’ll do it in the morning,but hey thanks again ,pretty sure it’s the same thing, ok bro later & thanks.

This is helpful. '93 Chevy 1500 taillights went completely out yesterday. Then turn on switch started smoking, telling me it's that ground wire. Thanks for this...

The problem I had was the lights worked fine but randomly blew that fuse...and would continue to do so until you cycled the ignition! Then you could replace the fuse and everything would work again until the next bump and BAM blown fuse again...searched for 2 years for this problem and FINALLY YOUR VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

My 90 chevy silverado is having that same problem right now. I am going to check out the ground now thank you for posting this video.

I just experience this problem a few days ago now I gt it u r the man bro 💯

Thank you. I'm chasing a similar issue on my 96 GMC Sierra! This gives me a place to start!

Oh my goodness! I've been trying to figure this out forever let's say the last 4 months. I am going to do this today. I have figured out that it was the ground I just didn't know where. I replaced the fuses so many times IT'S ridiculous🤔🤨🤯 thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊

Mine is an 86' I've been doing a slow roll restoration on. This last couple days, I've been off for Christmas, and it's been 65° here in Tennessee. So I decided to pull the dash pad out, I've ordered a new one, in the process of that I discovered why my defrost was working to good, it's a duct work issue. So I went in on that. My instrument panel lights were only about 1/2 of them working. So I figured bulbs but when I pulled it out the bulbs were mostly good had a couple blown but not the main problem. Today in putting everything back to make it where I could drive around the farm some this week I find that I have, excluding dash, which is still in the back of the truck, all my lights work except tail lights, I've got head, brake, and turn signal lights, as I type this it's dawning on me I did not check to see if I had running lights. I was thinking maybe a ground somewhere. While my 86 is a little different it has a very similar looking box under the steering column I had no idea what it was. I'll check it in the morning... That was a good video dude. The trouble shooting run down there was money, very straightforward.... Edit: maybe this edit can be useful to someone as far as cross over info. This same ground wire was, as it turns out the issue with my 86'. To think I almost didn't watch your video when you said 91' because I thought that info on 73'-86' could be useful to me

Literally stopped the video after you showed me how to fix it not even 8 min later my issue was fixed . Thanks my guy you a real G for this video

just got home... working nights... cops giving me crap all the way. Brakes and turn work no dash no tail...... MAN I think you got this! Going to bed find out in the morning. Thanks so much

Thanks man I just tried it and it worked quick 5 minute fix

This kinda similar issue just happened to me, thank you for this now I know what to do

I'm glad you got it fix.i have the same problem. And I'm going to check it out on ground wire..thanks

Thanks man this really helped US Army vet

Thanks for the video tip, I'm chasing the same problem also. I found my fuse block terminals are loose causing the parking lamp fuse to blow. Fuse practically falls out.

Thank You!!! Brother I’m Purdy sure you just saved me a ton of headache.

thanks bro. having the same problem in my 95 suburban. gonna tackle it this weekend.

Dude, you just saved my life! Thank you so much! 🤟🙏

Different truck same problem helped a bunch 👍

Thanks for the video helped me out with my issue 💯

perfect dude! thank you i have a hazard light problem this will help tremendously as to what ill be looking for

If your dash lights don't work check the "Illumination fuse", it's usually a 10a fuse. Checked mine after this video game me an idea and it worked! I have a 95 Chevy 1500.

I’ve been battling this prob forever it seems! Thanks man👌🏽

Thanks! I hope this solves my issue! The parking lights fuse blows as soon as I push them on. I replaced the light switch and turn signal switch and still blows the fuse. Hopefully your video takes care of my trucks issue with the parking lights fuse blowing!

Going to try checking that ground wire, I’m having the same issue. Have a 1988 Chevy Silverado 1500. TBI 305 Thank’s

Thanks for the video! I'm still searching for the issue in my 96 GMC Jimmy. Tried bulbs, dimmer, headlight/parking light switch and still the 20amp fuse pops. Next I suppose I'll tear apart the dash to see what I see.

Clean work and thank you

Great video! Thx

Tears dash apart before check fuse lol Nice find on the ground tho

thank you man ur the best

great video you are the mane

It was the turn signal/ headlight switch on my 95 nissan truck. Sometimes they would work and sometimes not, it also affected my rear brake marker lights (parking lights) when the dash lights weren't working.

thank you had same issue with my 91, was a ground issue just like you had. I bought the truck with a bad transmission, and ended up rebuilding the engine and trans, went to do a night drive and didnt have taillights. took the lights out, checked the harness on the frame rail ( total bitch), tried unplugging shit and it was this the whole time

Thanks for that...I would not no about that...

Thanks for that I would never no about that...

Here a question I have a 92 Chevy c10 will led lights be a quick installation or do I have to add jump wires

Thank you bro

outstanding

Yea thanks have to check my out

I have the same truck. Everything works except for the brake lights. Are the break lights grounded at that ground location also?

Wow, thank you.

Love the blue

Thank you!!!!!

ROOKIE QUESTION... so is the radio on a completely different system than all that? Because someone hooked up a radio for me and been having problems since for the tail lights and stuff.

Good video

I have the same problem. I sanded the plate and I didn't work. Did you clean it with some type of rubbing alcohol or spray? Anything I missed?

I’ll have to try this on my 99 Tahoe. The headlights shut off on their own then turn back on after a few minutes and I’ve noticed the headlight switch get pretty hot. All other lights stay on with no issues.

will this not work if fuse is blown ? have the same issue cleaned it up, but didn’t work haven’t tried changing out the fuse yet but i’m curious if replacing the fuse will make everything work again

Is there a fuse for the closter all my lights work but the instrument panel
